Think you know some big facts? Try this quiz and see if you can post a big score!
#1. What’s the largest atom we’ve ever measured?
Caesium is at the sweet spot to be a big atom. It has quite a lot of electrons surrounding it and making it big. Some other atoms have more electrons, but they also have more protons which pull on the electrons, squeezing the atom smaller!
#2. What’s the largest dolphin in the world?
Orcas, also known as killer whales, are the biggest dolphins in the world. Blue whales are bigger than orcas, but they aren’t dolphins!
#3. Which has more pizza: two 20-centimetre-wide pizzas, or one 40-centimetre wide pizza?
The 40-centimetre pizza is twice as wide and also twice as long as the 20-centimetre pizzas. So you’d need four 20-centimetre pizzas to get the same amount of pizza!
#4. Which planet is the biggest in the Solar System?
Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System. It’s almost 140,000 kilometres wide, while the next biggest planet, Saturn is only 120,000 kilometres wide. Our Earth is about 12,700 kilometres wide.
